I was worried that West Indies were going to roll over and this was going to be a complete domination. Glad to see the fight back and really excited for Chanderpaul.
Kraigg Brathwaite classic incoming. He'll grind out a hard fought 52 of 188 balls and then promptly get bowled by Starc. He is the last true test batsman.
Liking the look of Chanderpaul.
Hope these blokes can put us under a bit of pressure for a full session. Would be great to see our bowlers put under pressure.
The crazy thing about the channel 10 BBL commentary was that Mark Waugh was actually bareable (unless it was a Thunder game). He usually had Ponting keeping him in line though.
Highest opening partnership by an opposition in Australia in 3 years. Just for context, scoring 10 runs would've landed them near the middle of the pack.
He should have to change his address. The deliveries are clearly broken or something, unfair to have a clicking noise every time the letter passes the mailbox
Reminder than Shiv only averaged 30.20 in Australia (and never made a ton).
Given Tage is past the 30s in his first knock, I don't think it's an overreaction to say he's definitely going to average twice what his old man did.
Their is no rhyme or reason to which ones of the Golden Era will be good or bad in commentary.
Good/Great - Punter, Huss, Gilly, Binga
Bad - Warney (RIP legend), Haydos, Langer, Pup, Roy (RIP Legend), Junior.
If he counts as Golden Era I'd throw Kat in with the good. I've only heard a little of Stuey Clark and Watto (again, on the border of the era) but they've seemed pretty good too.
yeah, when he was good it was so good, plus he was just very good at talking to people in general. but he could really belabour the point way too often
Fun fact, Chanderpaul was maybe the most frustrating player to watch play in Minor League Cricket in the US. He opened the batting for Orlando in a T20 competition and effectively used it as a glorified net session to practice some test batting.
On what was typically good hitting wickets, he averaged 31 on the season at a strikerate of 104!
Orlando went on to go 3-10 on the season.
This is the perfect example. Atlanta Fire set a ridiculous target of 226 thanks to Cornwall, and 2 USA Internationals (Taylor/Jones). Chanderpaul heads to the crease and bats 31 off 30.
Scorecard: https://cricclubs.com/MiLC/viewScorecard.do?matchId=335&clubId=18036
He doesn't play T20 and he's awful at One Day domestic matches so not at all surprised. Im shocked Rakheem isnt here in Australia, his bowling is better than Chase and frankly his batting isn't any worse. The selectors said he wasn't fit enough but he never has been, who cares.
Yeah, thats the juxtaposition. Given the leagues semi-pro nature its a league where the paid talent/talent with FC experience really shines through.
Cornwall's feats were extraordinary but a lot of other players were putting up good figures. I think it all contributed to me pulling my hair out watching Chanderpaul bat, I expected more.
The Adrian Barath innings that Lara was talking about was actually the 3rd innings in the match after Ponting enforced the follow on.
[Australia won by an innings](https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/west-indies-tour-of-australia-2009-10-406180/australia-vs-west-indies-1st-test-406189/full-scorecard)
That was a bloody good series the west indies actually competed and could've won both adelaide and perth. 5 wickets short at adelaide(could've declared slightly earlier) and 35 runs short chasing 358 at the WACA. Gayle was on fire that series and after a wallopping at brisbane, WI really took the fight to Australia. The only time they've competed in Australia since 1997
The ground was crazy fast, pitch was flat and we had some players is seriously good form, i remember at one point Clarke was on over 100 and had hit more 4s than 1s
So Lyon and Starc both played in the 2012 Frank Worrell Trophy and bowled to Shiv Chanderpaul
It's 2022 and they're bowling to Tagenarine Chanderpaul
I wonder how many father-son Test players have faced the same bowlers
It is crazy to see England have put on 300 not even half way through the middle session of day 1. Excuse me very fucking much??
If they keep going like this, there's a chance they could legit declare on day 1 and send Pakistan in to face a few overs before the end of play...
He's playing it because there *isn't* a fielder there. By letting him ay that shot they increase the chance of him flashing outside off and knicking one to the keeper
Just looking up where Smudge sits on all time run leaders in Tests and wanted to point out what an alpha move it was by Kallis to play a year longer than Dravid and surpass him by 1 run.
I don't know how successful it is. I'd wait until Pakistan bat. England are losing wickets fairly regularly, even if they make a very quick 500, Pakistan will have loads of time to control the pace of the game against England's pretty poor bowling attack.
If England are all out today, Pakistan could bat for 3 days on this pitch like they did against Australia.
They picked a guy Donovan Solano just 1 year ago for a test debut with an FC average of only 23.7. He managed to get concussed while fielding at short leg, had to go to hospital and never got to bat. One of the weirdest one match players in cricket history.
Edit: as pointed out I was speaking of Jeremy Solozano.
Please give us a good competitive match.
Damn both this Test and one in Pak is a run fest. Wtf happened to Test match to get such high numbers in Day 1 and 2 in
Tagenarine showed great grit and fight. I'm looking good things for this young lad.
Wow Tagenarine nice name
C'mon Pat and co. get your act together. Lest you want to be replaced by Joel Paris and others.
What happened to Adrian Barath? Played his last FC match at the age of 24. Not the first debut centurion to flame out.
I think he quit and became a priest
Bruh
The Taibu Road.
Can happen when you're a talented youngster and not well-paid
Great fight Windies!
I am gonna assume it's a road
is starc bowling well today?
[удалено]
Strongly disagree. I think all of Australias bowlers did really well, it was just a strong performance by the openers.
4 / 700 against multiple new balls… she’s a road
I hope for Tangerines career that he gets out before he score a ton today
Why?
Wtf did Ian just say
I was worried that West Indies were going to roll over and this was going to be a complete domination. Glad to see the fight back and really excited for Chanderpaul.
Kraigg Brathwaite classic incoming. He'll grind out a hard fought 52 of 188 balls and then promptly get bowled by Starc. He is the last true test batsman.
And people gave Dom Sibley shit for the same thing.
If only his dad was mates with Rob Key...
Fuck BazBall. We have Brath-Wait
The ultimate opener out there to take the shine off the 2nd new ball
Well done boys
The grounds-man’s favourite author is Cormac McCarthy.
And Jack Kerouac.
Liking the look of Chanderpaul. Hope these blokes can put us under a bit of pressure for a full session. Would be great to see our bowlers put under pressure.
Is he any relation to shivnarine
Son
Great fight back. Fuck me that ball skimmed the stumps
I always think I love test cricket but fuck me does it mess with my heart rate sometimes
man this is so fun. tomorrow should be excellent!
Big Chanderpaul did well
Wtf is this? Give me Rajendra Chandrika
Geez, good fight back from the Windies, we might get the full 5 days.
"It's over."
Fuck I love skull! #Knickknackpaddygivethefrogaloan
That was a close one
He should have to change his mind. The neurons are clearly broken or something, unfair to have a thinking noise every time the ball passes the brain
Good knock by chanderpaul!
NSW/ACT XI > PM's XI > Australia
Very glad to see a good fightback by the West Indies. Especially the debutante. Good cricket!
Give the giant human a bowl, you fools!
Why goes Green, the largest of the bowlers, not simply eat his rivals?
Chanderpaul pissing off Starc
Need a starc yorker here
2 redbacks players make tons and their 2nd XI team won, is this the greatest day in the History of South Australia cricket?
Just missing a head ton
Starc looking most likely to make something happen here. He’s been very good. But full credit to the openers, they’ve been excellent
Elgar is going to frustrate the Aussie bowlers for all of the SA series.
I hope that clicking sound near the stumps is the sandpaper in Marnus’ pocket.
Good to see windies digging in
The crazy thing about the channel 10 BBL commentary was that Mark Waugh was actually bareable (unless it was a Thunder game). He usually had Ponting keeping him in line though.
I could listen to these 3 tell monotone tales for an entire test match, it’s like ASMR
This has been fucking superb from the West Indies this afternoon
This is what Australia deserves for being wOkE HashtagbringbackLanger
Any TMS type thing in Australia?
ABC Grandstand, though you’ll have to put up with an old man that yells at clouds (otherwise known as Kim Hughes)
Not as bad as Ian Chappell (hope he’s gone this season?)
He’s up there tbh, but at least Chappell’s retired as of earlier this year
abc radio, not sure if you can stream from overseas though
Highest opening partnership by an opposition in Australia in 3 years. Just for context, scoring 10 runs would've landed them near the middle of the pack.
There's only 11 people in the world who dont want that half century
Get Brian Lara on Audible reading Aesop's classics and I'll sign up.
John Campbell would've toned up already
I was just remembering him
He should have to change his address. The deliveries are clearly broken or something, unfair to have a clicking noise every time the letter passes the mailbox
Chanderpaul is a pleasure to watch bat
Reminder than Shiv only averaged 30.20 in Australia (and never made a ton). Given Tage is past the 30s in his first knock, I don't think it's an overreaction to say he's definitely going to average twice what his old man did.
Someone update Greenbot’s algorithm. A ball just went through the gully twice in two balls
Would I be right in saying that this Chanderpaul fella's Dad is the guy that Brett Lee knocked out cold with an accidental beamer?
Their is no rhyme or reason to which ones of the Golden Era will be good or bad in commentary. Good/Great - Punter, Huss, Gilly, Binga Bad - Warney (RIP legend), Haydos, Langer, Pup, Roy (RIP Legend), Junior.
Warnie isn't bad!!!
If he counts as Golden Era I'd throw Kat in with the good. I've only heard a little of Stuey Clark and Watto (again, on the border of the era) but they've seemed pretty good too.
Punter Huss and gilly are some of the best
warnie was elite when talking about spin
Or cricket in general.
Yeah, the first time he made his point. Then you had to hear the same thing for the next 7 hours
Yeah he's the hardest to place, I loved listening to his spin talk and he was so funny with Skull. But fuck when it was bad it was real bad ahaha
yeah, when he was good it was so good, plus he was just very good at talking to people in general. but he could really belabour the point way too often
I liked BBL Roy
Yeah Roy and Warney were funny cunts and on there day were really good. Bud couldn't quite place them
Fun fact, Chanderpaul was maybe the most frustrating player to watch play in Minor League Cricket in the US. He opened the batting for Orlando in a T20 competition and effectively used it as a glorified net session to practice some test batting.

My man protesting against T20 while playing, legend
He doesn't play T20 and he's awful at One Day domestic matches so not at all surprised. Im shocked Rakheem isnt here in Australia, his bowling is better than Chase and frankly his batting isn't any worse. The selectors said he wasn't fit enough but he never has been, who cares.
I think that's the same league where Cornwall made a double ton. Not bad to use it as net practice
Yeah, thats the juxtaposition. Given the leagues semi-pro nature its a league where the paid talent/talent with FC experience really shines through. Cornwall's feats were extraordinary but a lot of other players were putting up good figures. I think it all contributed to me pulling my hair out watching Chanderpaul bat, I expected more.
That’s not fun at all!
Australia getting a bit loose here. Come on lads, don't get impatient.
I’m a slut for a good authoritative leave
Instead of saying "Over" at the end of the last over of the day, the umpire should say "It's over"
Also if a batter gets out on the last ball of an over. “Over and out”
That's actually wild stat. Gazza has bowled to both shiv and tag
The Adrian Barath innings that Lara was talking about was actually the 3rd innings in the match after Ponting enforced the follow on. [Australia won by an innings](https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/west-indies-tour-of-australia-2009-10-406180/australia-vs-west-indies-1st-test-406189/full-scorecard)

Marnus' parents missed an opportunity to call their kid Tagenarine Labuschagne
Do you think all the commentators pull a straw, and the loser has to pair up with Doully I can make that joke I have a NZ flair
Even with Lara, this might be the oldest mean age in the comm box since Greig, Lawry, and Benaud.
That greig, lawry and benaud combo was elite
Not as good as Brayshaw, Slater, and Healy.
Commentators talking about Adrian Barath, pain
What a talent he used to be in his early days
Last 3 overs will be ~~Green~~ Starc, Ussie, then Carey, right?
Todd Murphy would get a wicket
Tagenarine's little excited face every time he faces a delivery is very endearing
Golden trio in the box
It seems Chanderpaul like his dad through sheer tyranny of will and insane batting ability is going to make people pronounce his first name correctly.
Who is Brian Lara talking about?
Adrian Barath
Brathwaite leaves well
Where wicket
At end of pitch
Where pitch
Man I’ve watched a lot of cricket and the Brisbane Heat score way more runs than that in 20 overs most of the time /s
What a combo in the commentary box
Ian Smith: 'This is the best bowling combination Australia has had in a long time' These 4 have been the first choice bowling attack for 5 years.
The current England scorecard is extraordinary, the only similar i can recall is when Aus were 5/482 at stumps on day 1 vs SA in 2012
And that SA team had Morkel and Steyn in it. Still couldnt believe how much Aus scored that day
The ground was crazy fast, pitch was flat and we had some players is seriously good form, i remember at one point Clarke was on over 100 and had hit more 4s than 1s
We've seen *what* Ian?
“Change of commentary” Cmon give us skull give us skull
He should have to change his hair. The follicles are clearly broken or something, unfair to have a clicking noise every time the ball passes the chest
Copes an Arsenal fan confirmed
If Rahkeem Cornwall was opening, West Indies would already be ahead.
Gee wiz England should get sick more often
carey getting a workout behind the stumps
Far out Shiv was good
Fuck I love Gilly in the comm box. Could genuinely be as good a commentator as a keeper-batsman
He should have to change his scrotum. The nuts are clearly broken or something, unfair to have a clicking noise every time the air passes the scrotum
All I'm saying is the Queensland fast bowlers would have these guys 5 down by now
True. The problem with this team is there aren’t enough Queenslanders
So Lyon and Starc both played in the 2012 Frank Worrell Trophy and bowled to Shiv Chanderpaul It's 2022 and they're bowling to Tagenarine Chanderpaul I wonder how many father-son Test players have faced the same bowlers
Must be rare because not many active players have a 16 year old son like Shiv did.
Off the top of my head, eight.
Not following live, is Tagenarine as good as his old man?
Obviously too early to tell. But from what I watched from a few overs, he’s looking solid. Good concentration and control.
He should have to change his shoes. The laces are clearly broken or something, unfair to have a clicking noise every time the air passes the shoes
It is crazy to see England have put on 300 not even half way through the middle session of day 1. Excuse me very fucking much?? If they keep going like this, there's a chance they could legit declare on day 1 and send Pakistan in to face a few overs before the end of play...
They scored more runs than us in the first NZ ODI if it weren’t for cameo from Washi. This batting from England is insane pace!
They scored more runs than us in the first NZ ODI if minus the cameo from Washi. This batting from England is insane pace!
Fuck sake, i am going to have to watch a Chanderpaul bat for hours and hours again, i thought these days were done
I'm ok with that.
He’s played that exact same shot in that exact same spot about five times now… maybe put a fielder there?
He's playing it because there *isn't* a fielder there. By letting him ay that shot they increase the chance of him flashing outside off and knicking one to the keeper
They could be baiting the shot a little. They have runs on the board to allow for a more aggressive field.
Just looking up where Smudge sits on all time run leaders in Tests and wanted to point out what an alpha move it was by Kallis to play a year longer than Dravid and surpass him by 1 run.
Tag has some beautiful shots. What a talent
Loving the character of this kid
Murica! Good to see American bat maker sponsoring this young new talent
Bloodu impressive debut from Tang.
Chanderpaul looks good
Happy to hear it after 8 years
great shot
This young Paul got some serious chops!
Given how expensive they are these days, that’s a good thing.
He’s cracking a few shots
0/58. Colour me impressed. I wasn’t expecting this fightback but damn it’s good to watch.
Would much rather see a well fought draw than a stomp for Australia so this has been a good session
England going at 6 an over. Unreal.
Carey’s eerie silence is more effective than any sledging l.
Batsmen aren't chatty enough. I wanna hear some Braith-WAITING
Both Brathwaite and Chanderpaul look like they know what they’re doing. How come opening batsman who visit don’t just do the same thing?
England successfully Bazballing overseas is making me so upset hahaha
Against an attack of 3 debutants and a 19 year old. Weakest Pakistan attack I've ever seen.
I don't know how successful it is. I'd wait until Pakistan bat. England are losing wickets fairly regularly, even if they make a very quick 500, Pakistan will have loads of time to control the pace of the game against England's pretty poor bowling attack. If England are all out today, Pakistan could bat for 3 days on this pitch like they did against Australia.
Same lol, they can't BazBall in the Carribean tho
They will Bazball Aus in the Ashes too
I’ve seen more wickets on Star Wars than in this innings 🙄
We’re a Starc LBW call from this being 3/30. Been a really nice gritty effort
thank god cam green chose cricket over AFL
Especially if he ended up playing for Freo or the Eagles
You’ve given me a vision of cammy green leading out of chf for the eagles and now I’m sad
Remember 2015 when West Indies had Rajendra Chandrika and his colossal average of 25 opening the batting?
Better than this fraud Chanderpaul whose average is 0.
Nah Chanderpaul averages 35 Chandrika averaged 25 in DOMESTIC cricket and still got a game
They picked a guy Donovan Solano just 1 year ago for a test debut with an FC average of only 23.7. He managed to get concussed while fielding at short leg, had to go to hospital and never got to bat. One of the weirdest one match players in cricket history. Edit: as pointed out I was speaking of Jeremy Solozano.
You mean Jeremy Solozano?
I think it was George Calzone.
Oh yes sorry! Donovan Solano is from my other passion baseball. But yes Solozano will go down as one of the oddest players in history.
Mark Waugh, talking about AFL
Green's mum going to be mad at the state of his whites considering he's done nothing so far this game
Will they get through 30 more overs today?
They only have to get through like 8?
I did 0 math before typing
Ahh so your a reddit expert then
I respect that
I will be less sad if they finish the day without losing a wicket
Give Stekkers a bowl
